We brought you a brand new edition of"Would You Rather"withOlivia Wildeandthis trip down memory lanewithKaitlyn DeverandBeanie Feldstein, but now it’s time to bring the trio together for some high school superlatives.
Booksmartmarks Wilde’s feature directorial debut and Dever and Feldstein are an absolute delight in it. They play Amy and Molly, a pair of best friends and overachieving teacher’s pets who find out that they could have been accepted into great schoolsandparties like their classmates. Trouble is, they realize this the night before gradation so have to make the most of their very list night as high school students. Again, they’re a very special big screen duo, butBooksmartalso rocks a stellar ensemble filled with standout supporting characters that’ll send you out the door struggling to pick a favorite.
For that reason, when I got the chance to sit down with Wilde, Dever and Feldstein, we took some time to ensure you have a way to get to know the cast ofBooksmartthrough some high school superlatives. Find out who they’d dub “director’s pet,” “biggest flirt,” “most likely to become President,” and so much more in the video interview at the top of this article. And just because these are names I’m predicting you’re going to want to know, here’s the cast ofBooksmart:Victoria Ruesgaas Ryan,Mason Goodingas Nick,Skyler Gisondoas Jared,Diana Silversas Hope,Molly Gordonas Triple A,Billie Lourdas Gigi,Eduardo Francoas Theo,Nico Hiragaas Tanner,Noah Galvinas George andAustin Cruteas Alan. Catch the whole gang in action whenBooksmarthits theaters on May 24th. I can’t recommend it enough and the same goes for our ownMatt Goldbergright here. You can check out his review.
Here’s the official synopsis forBooksmart:
Told from a wildly original, fresh and modern perspective, Booksmart is an unfiltered comedy about high school best friends and the bonds we create that last a lifetime. Capturing the spirit of our times, the film is a coming of age story for a new generation.
